Mechanical issue at Lindsay Water Reservoir resolved

Kawartha Lakes – The municipality is advising residents connected to the municipal drinking water system in Lindsay that a mechanical failure occurred within the water reservoir on July 4, 2025, resulting in higher-than-normal flows through the system.

The issue was promptly addressed, with full repairs completed and normal operations restored later that evening.

At no time was the safety of the drinking water compromised. The water remains safe for consumption. However, some residents may temporarily notice discoloured water due to the increased flow. If this occurs, simply run your cold water taps until the water runs clear.

For more information, please contact the Kawartha Lakes Water and Wastewater Division at 705-324-9411 or visit www.kawarthalakes.ca.
